how to make fabric labels

Over the past few years I've gotten more than a handful of inquiries about the labels I attach to my sewn items. Baby quilts, burp cloths, bags, mug rugs... I attach them to almost everything I make. I like the 'professional' look it lends to handmade items.

So I thought I'd give you a quick run-down of my process for creating these lovely little tags.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I have been struggling with this for a month or two now, trying so many different ways to print and stamp on twill tape for my labels, not wanting to shell out tons of money to have them custom made. This is so perfect. :) Thank you again!

Elizabeth, the ink does NOT run, as thats the point of using fabric ink. Its permanent, if you let it set for 24hrs, then press with a hot iron to really set it permanently. The ink doesn't fade, run, or wash out. Perfect for labels!
